Hey wait! You have choices!

Galaxy at War Edition

One of the greatest things about the Mass Effect games was the moral choices you had to make. They affected things in the game and (and this was mind blowing), they actually carried over into later games. Well, none of your choices carry over into this newest foray in to the Mass Effect universe, so there. But it's cool, because this is a board game. Mass Effect Risk, to be exact!

In Mass Effect Risk, the Reapers have begun their destruction of all sentient life forms. The Alliance, led by Commander Shepard, is the only hope for saving the galaxy. Meanwhile, a clandestine operation known as Cerberus seeks to take control of the Reapers to make humanity the dominant force in the galaxy. And you get to play as any one of these three factions! And it's not just straight forward Risk; there are actually three play modes. Only one is straight forward Risk; the other two are: a fast-paced, strategic game and a quick card and dice game. With over 250 game pieces (playing pieces, cards, dice), Mass Effect Risk really is a whole galaxy at war!
